Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This sale includes approximately 98 acres across two parcels: 151 Anchor Inn Rd. (Parcel #1501000087, approx. 98+- acres) and an adjacent property at 155 Anchor Inn Rd. (Parcel #1501000088, approx. .37+- acres). The property includes wooded areas with some potential wetlands and tillable acres. The remarks also note that, for several years, it has operated as a turn-key recreational paintball business, with operation and supplies potentially available for a qualified buyer, subject to negotiation.

The farm has approximately 935'+- of frontage on US 13 and approximately 975'+- on Anchor Inn Rd. The seller states New Castle County has indicated a process may be available for a potential major subdivision, subject to a site capacity calculation, zoning certification, planning criteria, process requirements, and County Council approval. The seller also notes that a minor subdivision is available “by right,” creating four parcels from the 98+- acre parcel, and advises buyers to complete their own due diligence for any development plans. Listing agent must be present for all showings, and there is absolutely no trespassing without a confirmed appointment.

For buyers seeking land with both agricultural character and recreational history, this acreage offers a mix of wooded and tillable ground, plus substantial road frontage. Owner-operator tenants and recreation-oriented buyers may want to inquire about the paintball operation and supplies that the seller says could be available, while development-minded parties can review subdivision options noted in the county planning remarks. The seller also states that 2025 taxes were paid in full for the parcel and were $1,999.68 following correction of an earlier tax billing error acknowledged by the county.
